Merry Christmas!

This holiday really makes me a happy man. It really makes me feel blessed and loved. There's nobody on the earth that will love you more than your own family. It's a special kind of love that you just can always feel. Haha Christmas Eve at my grandma's house was magnificent. It's really a great thing seeing your perspective change throughout the years and recognizing everything. When I was a kid, man, I'd be all gathered around all the adults running around being the annoying kid, but now I'm one of the adults, and it's great they don't treat me like a kid anymore. It's like once you become an adult they'll talk to you about anything. Anything stupid, anything great, anything utterly ridiculous. Also, I never would have realized that the Beatles: Rockband would bring the whole family closer to everyone. It was great, they set it up, and I guess none of my family's ever heard me drum before, and never really knew how good I was. But really... the Beatles aren't anything impressive anyways to drum to, but they were all like "wow you're so good!" The funny thing was I was halfway drunk and playing the drumset with wooden spoons because they forgot the drumsticks. And apparently my brother and I bring out the worst in my badass cousin's badass husband. We all gathered around and did a shot or two for my pops, me my brother and my cousin's husband, derek, and we got him all wasted. That's what family's about right there. Not giving a shit, and unconditional love.

Oh man, there was this little kid there that reminded me of my brother, but like 6 years old. He was a little smart ass, but it was cute. I walk in the room, and my brother asks the kid "how old does Matt look?" and this little kid, zach, answers "30?" and i'm just sitting there cracking up. He's saying all sorts of crazy shit. And then my other little cousin, he's 13 now, rags on my brother, saying "I have this thing called Justin disorder, I have to get a shot in my face to get rid of the ugly" and i swear I was laughing for like 10 minutes from that shit.

So anyways, moral of the story, remember, your family's always gonna be there, and support you no matter what, even if you only see them a few times a year, they'll be there for you if you ever need anything.

Also, I'd like to congratulate my friend Kenneth on his engagement! Congratulations Kenneth! If anyone deserves to be happy, it's you, because you work hard for everything you do, and you deserve everything you get, and everything you work for, and I wish you the best, even though the wedding, and all the details are probably super far away, but I'll help you with anything you need!
